REDWOOD CITY, Calif., August 13, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Leapcure, a global leader and pioneer in improving clinical trial accessibility and empathy, is proud to announce the acquisition of Honeybee Trials, a company renowned for its extensive clinical trial product capabilities and successful collaborations with leading institutional research sites, biotech firms and private clinical trial sites. With this acquisition, Leapcure strengthens its commitment to creating empathetic clinical trials that prioritize fairness, accessibility, and the inclusion of diverse patient experiences.

Honeybee’s proven clinical trial technologies will complement and enhance Leapcure's existing platform, enabling a more comprehensive and efficient approach to patient recruitment and study management. Additionally, Honeybee’s CEO Catherine Chan will be joining the Leapcure team as the Senior Director of Product, bringing her expertise in digital solutions to expand the company’s product offerings.

“Supporting what Leapcure has done for the patient experience and site experience along with their mission for clinical trials is really compelling. We’re also excited about bringing more affordable solutions to hospitals and academic sites, enabling them to thrive in the digital age,” said Catherine Chan, former CEO of Honeybee and now Senior Director of Product at Leapcure.
